Gun rights, with some restrictions

Newspapers have been thriving with stories of people getting shot and killed by guns since the Newtown shooting occurred Dec. 14. Though the right to own a gun is a controversial topic, I think that people should not have the right to own a weapon unless there are very strict regulations.

One reason people would want to own a gun is for protection. If no one were to own a gun, you really wouldn't have to worry about people attacking you, or them worrying about you attacking them.

Another reason to own a gun is being a collector. This should definitely be restricted, especially the number of bullets. In many U.S. houses you will find a gun, and this is a big problem, because even if some people in the family have the strict right to own a gun, other members of the family may not. This is one of the main reasons the shooting in Newtown occurred.

The more deaths we have due to guns, the more we cannot allow this to continue. Humans have the right to live, right? More accidents or intentional deaths will continue to happen, that's why I think people should not be able to own guns or bullets, especially without very serious restrictions. For people who may disagree with this, it will definitely be hard to change their lifestyle, but this is for the safety of all of their peers and themselves.
